To start off, there is no Internet in the hotel. So, if you are a business traveller this place is not for you. Moreover, absence of any service whatsoever. For example, when a bulb broke in two of the lamps I had in my room, I reported the incident and was offered a bulb to fix the problem myself. I refused and asked for a technitian, who has never come. In addition, when I had an excursion early in the morning, I didn't receive a wake-up call that asked a night before. Only thanks to me waking up myself not too late and taking a taxi to the travel agency I was able to make it.To start off, there is no Internet in the hotel.
